Customer questions
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
With 12 incredibly talented musicians, you are guaranteed to get a fantastic performance on the night! All our musicians are featured on our social media, videos and website. Your band will be hand picked by our manager depending on which line up you go for: either the Power Trio or 4 piece band. There is the option to add additional musicians too!
Do you have different line-up options?
The power Trio package line-up is Vocals, Guitar and Drums. All members sing which is a fantastic bonus for the band! A 4 piece lineup adds another guitarist. Having so many musicians at South West band, we are able to add further extra members for you based on availability and have the option to add a keyboard or sax player should you wish.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
A standard package is 6 pm arrival (set up time of 1 hour) and 12 am finish time. Should your event finish after 12 am/start earlier, late stay/Early set-up upgrade options are available. We always try our best to be as flexible as possible to help ensure your event runs smoothly. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event, just let us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely! This is a really popular request! South West offer a fantastic Professional DJ Package which fills the time between the 2 live band sets. This is provided by our own professional DJ who knows the right songs to play at the right time to keep the party going and the dancefloor full!
How much time do you need to set up?
In a standard package, arrival time is 6 pm and it takes the band 1 hour to set up. As soon as the PA is set up, we will provide a free playlist service to set the atmosphere ready for your guests' arrival. Should you book the Pro DJ package, this will start at 7 pm and really get the party started!
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our repertoire is crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure you and your guests are up dancing and having an incredible time. However, it is always great to have your input - it's your big day after all! We'll be in ahead of your event to get a feel for your musical taste and if there are any songs you definitely don't want!
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Our PA and lighting system are included in your quote. The band will usually require a performance space or staging of 3 metres deep by 4 metres wide.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Absolutely! As part of your booking, the band will put in a dedicated rehearsal for your event in which they are able to learn a song that isn't in our repertoire. There's a high chance they will already know it so always ask the question! This could be your first dance song or simply one that you would love to hear during the evening.
